Pauline Cafferkey, 43, contracting the deadly disease while helping as an aid worker in Sierra Leone.

The nurse from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, was first struck down with the disease in December 2014.

She had just returned to the UK from West Africa where she was volunteering with Save the Children at an Ebola treatment centre.

Pauline was successfully treated but had to be readmitted to hospital on three occasions between October 2015 and October 2016 when the virus mysteriously returned.

This week, she gave birth to twin boys at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Proud dad Robert Softley Gale broke the news by sharing a picture of himself and the newborn boys on Facebook.

The disability rights campaigner and theatre director wrote on Tuesday: “Hello world. Meet these two amazing boys.”

He added: “Born at 10.05 and 10.08 this morning — 5lb 14oz and 5lb 8oz.

“Mum and boys doing brilliantly. Names to follow.”

Pauline this week told the Daily Record in Scotland: “I would like to thank all the wonderful NHS staff who have helped me since I became ill in 2014 right through to having my babies this week.

“This shows that there is life after Ebola and there is a future for those who have encountered this disease.”

Ebola, which originated in Africa, is still an incredibly dangerous disease.

Nearly 1,400 people have died in the latest outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This week, Wellcome Trust director Dr Jeremy Farrar described the latest epidemic as “truly frightening”.

During an outbreak in West Africa between 2013 and 2016, killed more than 11,000 people.

The latest outbreak is the second largest in human history.

Experts believe it will take another two years for it to end.
